Brief summary

This post-market follow-up study investigates improvement in clinical and radiological outcome after reversed total shoulder arthroplasty with the patient-specific Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction system

Detailed description

The Glenius glenoid implant is a solution for patients who need a reversed glenoid reconstruction (primary or revision) because of a severely damaged glenoid associated with severe bone loss. In these cases, standard reconstruction of the glenoid is not possible because of the lack of body support of the glenoid rim or columns. The Glenius implant is custom-made prothesis: during pre-operative planning, the implant is designed based on a detailed 3D CT analysis of the defect with special reference to bone quality and the anatomy of the bone deficient glenoid. Optimized screw fixation trajectories are defined for each individual patient, which accommodate screws that are positioned and angled towards the best bone stock available in the glenoid/coracoid/scapula with each specific patient. The surgeon provides feedback on the the design and orientation of the implant needed to achieve the optimal inclination of the head and the position & offset of the joint's centre of rotation. Because Glenius is a relatively new product and only for use in specific and complex cases of severy glenoid erosion, follow-up data on the clinical and radiological outcome are scarce. With this study we aim to collect long-term clinical and radiological follow-up data for patients treated with Glenius in a uniform, standardized way.

Interventions

DEVICEreversed glenoid prothesis

All patients will undergo a primary or revision arthroplasty with Glenius according to the routine practice at the investigation site and will be followed at specified visiting moments, during which radiological and clinical data will be gathered.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in baseline Constant-Murley Score after surgery6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgeryThe Constant-Murley score is a clinical outcome scale composed of a number of individual parameters, defining the level of pain, the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient, mobility and strength of the arm. The scores range from 0 (worst clinical outcome) to 100 (best clinical outcome).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in baseline Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) after surgery6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgeryThe OSS is a 12-item patient-reported outcome specifically designed and developed for assessing outcomes of shoulder surgery e.g. for assessing the impact on patients' quality of life of degenerative conditions such as arthritis and rotator cuff problems. The score ranges from 0 (no pain or functional impairement) to 60 (worst pain and functional impairement).
change in general health EQ5D score after surgery6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgeryEQ-5D is a standardized patient-reported outcome for measuring generic health status. The questionnaire has two components: a health state description measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. and a general evaluation of their overall health status using the visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS).
change in baseline pain score using Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) after surgery6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgeryThe VAS pain score is a patient-reported evaluation of pain intensity on a Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) between 0 (no pain) and 100 (worst pain imaginable).
Translational deviation from planned implant position6 weeks after surgerytranslational deviation (in mm) of the implant position on post-operative shoulder CT scan when compared to the planned position on the pre-operative CT scan.
Rotational deviation from planned implant position6 weeks after surgeryRotational deviation (in degrees) of the implant position on post-operative shoulder CT scan when compared to the planned position on the pre-operative CT scan.
Translational deviation from initial implant position1 year after surgerytranslational deviation (in mm) on a shoulder CT scan 1 year after surgery, compared to the position on the post-operative CT scan.
Change in baseline Simple Shoulder Test (SST) after surgery6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 years after surgeryThe SST is a function scale with 12 items, used to assess improvement in shoulder function after treatment interventions and to check the patient's ability to tolerate or perform 12 activities of daily living. The scores range from 0 (worst functional outcome) to 100 (best functional outcome).
Scapular notching6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years after surgeryscapular notching will be graded according to the Sirveaux classification system (2004) on a shoulder radiograph. The classification goes from 0 (no notching) to 4 (erosion over the inferior screw with extension under the baseplate)
Radiolucensies6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years after surgeryRadiolucencies surrounding the glenoid component will be graded according to the system of Lazarus (Lazarus et al 2002) on a shoulder radiograph. The classification goes from 0 (no lucensies) to 5 (gross lucensies and radiographic loosening)
Heterotopic ossifications6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years after surgeryperiarticular heterotopic ossification (HO) will be scored according to a modified Brooker classification system of HO of the hip (Verhofste et al 2016) on a shoulder radiograph. The classification goes from 0 (no ossifications) to 3 (complete ankylosis of the shoulder)
rate of implant revision surgeries up to 5 years after surgeryup to 5 years after surgeryImplant survival will be calculated by calculating the rate of implant revision surgeries up to 5 years after surgery.
Complication rateup to 5 year after surgerythe number and kind of (severe) adverse (device) events: device/shoulder related A(D)Es, SA(D)Es and device deficiencies that could have led to an SAE will be collected.
Rotational deviation from initial implant position1 year after surgeryRotational deviation (in degrees) on a shoulder CT scan 1 year after surgery, compared to the position on the post-operative CT scan.
